Can you run AIM on this?

[bwonedotcom]

yes you can dl the AIM app or the app verizon provides. Do a google search and you'll find both apps.

AIM works smoothly.?

cause alot of smart phones

like the Palm 750 or Dash or whatever AIM isnt working that well....

[bwonedotcom]

When i was using it on this phone it worked fine for the most part. the animations wasn't as smooth but the job got done with it. Its better on the HTC Touch Pro

[dayday69]

cant even protect a BISCUIT!!! hahahahah

[mtrsprt91]

Have you tested the range on the Wi-Fi?

[geedunk13]

Wow, I remember when I got this phone. Then I got the touch pro and now have a HTC Incredible. So crazy how fast technology has changed 

[MrXboxWiz]

it couldnt even protect a biscuit, a biscuit is pretty hard to protect

I know, me and these guys have been arguing about the price of the data on this device without the data plan.

[bwonedotcom]

I believe they will let you have this one without a data plan but I always say what's the point of a PDA Phone without the data plan. You pretty much cut 70% of the features away

[jeff30458]

I know exactly what I'm talking about. Any of the newer pda's like the droid, htc droid eris, and the blackberries, etc. have a required 30 a month data plans. In the days of the older phones like say the palm treo 650 I used to have (and this phone), data wasn't a required feature on the phone and could be blocked, but if you choose to not block it and not get a plan it is $14.99 p/mb. Call verizon and ask about the data on this particular phone and they will tell you.

[atlien991]

Come on! You telling me a 5mb song cost 75 bucks to download as data.

You not thinkin before you type.

[maxexn]

Hey Jackmiles2006. The simple fact is I have the XV6800 and have a data block, so trusting you is not the issue, trust me. I use the wi-fi to connect to the internet and don't pay any fee for a data usage plan because I don't have one.

[jeff30458]

You must have talked to an uninformed rep because I'm telling you I work for verizon and do this everyday and for pdas without dataplans the data rate is 14.99 a mb

[Jackmiles2006]

Verizon dosen't put Data Blocks on smarphones. Trust me, i tried. but what you can do is go into the settings for Data and change the verizon username and password to something that isn't right or something random and then it won't connect to the data network anymore. You can still use Wi-Fi.

[Jackmiles2006]

I Called VZW at *611 and they said it's 1.99/MB no matter which device.
